Ahh, there's nothing like a good snippet of poetry to add resonance to an image, eh?

Sorry I did not type much today.

I was going to tell you how the "Swamp' was an extended metaphor for life, and that the geese were in fact you and I, and that the creek was the not a creek at all but the River Styx (Charon has nicked under the bridge for a comfort stop and discovered that it is true about trolls) and that I have tried to make it all child friendly by bumping up the saturation...

If a beautiful scenery like this could lead to the swamp, then I wonder what the swamp looks like. Seriously, I just love how tender the lights you've created here, I feel like slipping inside and just hang out with the ducks.

Let's all go to the swamp! The country lane over a peaceful brook, a bucolic setting.. but are those ominous clouds in the distance? Little duckies better be careful!The colors are luscious..love it! :)

I like the idea of 'swamp' being a metaphor for life. It certainly does get swampy sometimes (dark and murky?) and finding your way through it is sometimes a challenge! I like the golden aura of your illo - gives it a sunny, all is well quality!
